We're still alive!

Just super busy. 

Well not to busy to cuddle. Every single day. Whenever Luna feels like it ... basically. You can't say no to this funny face!

Promise to be back soon. 

Jewelry Organization

Well let's just say you have a lot of Jewelry ... and we're talking about A LOT! I've been buying all sorts of Jewelry since ... well basicly since I can remember buying stuff. And with years the amount of my Jewelry collection has gotten out of my hands. I did throw out so many things during all these years, but still! It's out of control! And now (now is two years) when I'm daily making new pieces my stash is just getting bigger and bigger! 

So it's been a while since I first started to think about how this organizing solution is just not working. I need something bigger, better, more transparent so I can easily find what I'm looking for, ... but no matter how hard I look I just can't find enything like what I imagine in my head. So I'll build my own - that's my bright idea at the moment. I'm still looking for perfect material and all the things I need, but I will make it. Because I can't handle all the drama when I need something and can't really find it anywhere in the house. 

So if you're Jewlery collection is bit smaller than mine, here are some pretty ideas that might work for you.

Best Office ever

Sunday afternoon. 

Brainstorming. 

With M.

Making planes and working on something that will probably occupy me during (at least!) next three months ... well let's make it 6 months, since we're working alone on this and with so much going on we don't even know when will this be done.

But we were :

In the best office EVER! 

So green. 

So peaceful and quite. 

Birds were singing and we had so much fun.

Plus then this little kitty came to visit us. We don't even know who's cat is this. But she was so sweet! Until she scratch me! Little devil! 

But look what she's doing - crazy cat! ;) 

Have a fabulous day, 

M.

Talented

This is a new line of my Jewelry. 

A very special line. 

Everything you can see here is hand drawn and I couldn't love it more. 

I adore every single piece, because I know how many hard work is put in there. How many love and devotion. 

But this is just a start. 

I have a lot more to show ... but for today, let's just say this is something to look forward to other new designs. 

All these images are little pieces of ART. 

Hand drawn by one talented young artist. 

I really hope she will pursue her dreams and won't give up. 

It can be hard, but if you LOVE what you do, there's no limit. And no one can convince you otherwise. 

P.s.: These three pairs will be added to my Etsy shop during weekend. So please feel free to check it out anytime. 

Have a gorgeous day,

M.

Safety and cuteness

When it comes to my phone and computer I want them to be safe at any time while I'm carrying them with me. I don't know what would I do if something happens to my dear friends. :) 

Quite some time ago I bought this nice laptop bag, that I just love. It's so beautiful and perfect for my MacBook. It's from Bershka. 

I have it in black, but this blue one is gorgeous too. 

Price: 14.99€ / $19.20

M. bought me this amazing mint heart print phone case. It's sort of hard to stuck a phone in it (phone with a case, if you don't have any case on your phone, then you don't have to worry), but I still like it a lot.

He said I need something for my phone when I'm out with Luna. Something to keep it safe and sound. :) And so I choose the mind one. They also come in pink and black.

This one's from Bershka too.

 Price: 9.99€ / $12.80

And this is a case that I'm currently using on my iPhone. It's amazing! But I guess I need to buy a new one, because I'm kind a over this one already. I want something with Polka dots now. :)) 

Have an awesome day,

M.

I have a suprise for you!

Well I'm pretty sure you do.

But I can't tell you just yet. 

I'll just give you few hints - I love making Jewelry and soon you can expect a lot of new items coming out of my studio. 

I would love to share more with you, but you'll have to wait and see what I've prepared for you. New items, new materials and new style. I can't wait! And I'm pretty sure you're going to love it. 

And if any one of you is asking "What about your current Jewelry collection?" No need to worry, I will still make it and enjoy every single moment of it. :) Actually there are some new designs coming up soon (+ new items are listed in my Etsy shop every single week!), so you could say I'm hyperactive when it comes to my business. 

Have a fabulous day and don't forget to checkout this page regularly, since this is the only way to keep up with me. Well you can search through my Facebook page or Instagram (manuela_s), too. Just to be sure that you don't miss anything, since I pretty much post everything there too. But here I write in long sentences and give you more informations. So if you want to be up to speed, you should check everything out. ;)

Have a splendid day,

It's still summer Ootd

It is September alright, but I refuse to admit that summer 2012 is all gone! No way! It was to nice to let it go. 

And I just remembered I have few summer outfits to share with you. So shall we start before winter comes??? :) 

[This was lunch with my family.] 

Dress: H&M | Bag: Dorothy Perkins | Sandals: Miss Sixty | Ring: H&M | Glasses: River Island 

I absolutely love this hot pink dress! It's perfect summer dress and this gold zipper makes it even more special. If I remember correctly they also had it in black & white, and maybe just maybe I feel a little sorry for not buying that one too. 

Have a beautiful day, 

M.

Breathtaking

When you love your country, love the place you're living, the best thing that you can do is go OUT and enjoy it! Enjoy every single moment and be very grateful for every piece of it. 

All pictures a from my Instagram (username: manuela_s), so that's why they are a bit more crispier. 

View from my home ... amazing. 

On our way home (hiking afternoon) ...

Another hiking date. :)

Long long walk with Luna. This is one small church in the middle of the forest. Nice and very peaceful. By the way - can you find Luna?? :) Take a look at that small dot on the right side of the church. :) Yes, that's my little cutie pie. 

Hiking again ... so green, so beautiful. 

Amazing green forest. And fabulous blue sky!

Have a great day,

M.

One very special birthday

I share this picture on Instagram (username: manuela_s) and Twitter (link on the left) few days (weeks) ago, but never post it here. So let's do it now, shall we? :)

It was grandmas 81st birthday (on August 24th). And few weeks before that she saw me making this cute little light blue earrings. She told me she wants a pair of that same earrings. And I totally thought she's just joking. But she was serious. And she even kept asking me every now and then, if she will receive it for her birthday or not. So that was the moment I realize this women is not messing with me. She really wants light blue earrings. 

And when her birthday came I gave her one of the best presents I ever gave to someone. She was so happy about her new earrings! I don't even remember seeing her so thriller about anything like this before. She didn't care about other gifts we gave her! She was just looking at her new earrings and smiling.

And when I thought it can't get any better: she kissed them! She kissed the earrings are hug me again + kiss me on the cheeks! Gosh - I was in shock! 

So this is another think that shows me that I should stay on my path - keep doing this and make people happy. Because at the end of the day that's all that matter ...

P.s.: Three weeks later she still wears them 24/7! She put them on on her birthday and today she's still wearing them. I guess she really really likes it, ha? ;) 

Have a fabulous day, 

M.

So let's talk about anniversary

So shall we do it? :) 

Remember this picture and this post? 

Se še spomnete te slikice? :) In te objave? Obljubila sem, da bom delila več informacij in danes bom to tudi storila. ;)

And I told you I will share with you some more informations about how I spend it. 

First of all let me tell you something - I'm may not be so "usual and predictable" about this whole anniversary thing. I wouldn't be too happy if M. took me in some fancy restaurant ... no way jose! + I'm not that into celebrating anniversaries any way. It was just nice to see that 80 month number and that's it. :) By the way - 80 months is 6 years and 8 months. :) 

So what I wanted to do? 

I wanted to go hiking. 

Yes - hiking. 

So we went. And it was beautiful! 

Najprej bi bilo fino, da omenim da sem zelo "nestandardna" kar se marsičesa tiče. In tudi pri obletnicah je tako. Če bi me M. povabil v fensi šmensi restavracijo bi se po moje začela smejat in mu rekla, da greva raje kaj bolj pametenega počet. ;) Jp ... tako pač je. Ni vse za vse, jaz pravim. In "ko voli, nek izvoli...," jaz pač ne. 

+ Vsem tem obletnicam niti ne dajem neke posebne pozornosti. Tale bi šla recimo skoraj čisto mimo mene, če ne bi bila po mesecih šteta takšna lepa okrogla številka. 

80 mesecev = 6 let in 8 mesecev 

Torej kaj je bil moj predlog za tale "poseben" dan??

Gremo v hribe. Hodit, na svež zrak, predebatirati vse kar ne uspeva skozi dan, preučiti nove poslovne in ustvarjalne podvige, itd. 

In sva šla. In bilo je super! Vreme fantastično, temperature ravno prave in velikooo padalcev v zraku! Kaj bi si človek še lahko želel?? 

And if I had to put all these 80 months in one word I would say: It went by so fast I don't even know when it happened! - Well that's more than one word, ha? But you get the point. 

Have a wonderful day, 

M.

In če bi hoteli, da strnem teh 80 mesecev v nekaj besed, bi rekla le: "Pojma nimam kdaj so minili in kam so šli! A je res že toliko???"  

Bodite lepo in imejte se radi, 

M.

80 months

80 moths together ...

Well this is not a joke anymore, ha? (like there ever was)

Time really does fly ... that's all I'm going to say at this point. 

(photo from my Instagram, follow me if you want to know other personal stuff about me :) username: manuela_s)

And if anyone does not know how many years that is ... do your math. :) Or wait for few more days when I'm going to show you some awesome pictures (how we spend this important :) anniversary) and I might even do the math for you then. ;)

Take care and don't forget to tell people (and your PETS) around you how much you LOVE them.

M.
